teacup 2003

Robert Lazzarini's "teacup" (2003) is a striking example of contemporary sculpture. This ceramic teacup and saucer set, decorated with forget-me-nots, has been dramatically distorted, creating a sense of both fragility and strength. The distorted shapes of the cup, saucer, and spoon invite the viewer to reconsider everyday objects. This work challenges the viewer's perception of functional objects, prompting contemplation on the nature of design and its relation to the body.
